Marcolin and LVMH have reached an agreement for LVMH to purchase the 49% stake held by Marcolin in Thélios. Separately, Marcolin will buy back the 10% stake LVMH owns in Marcolin, which LVMH acquired when Thélios was founded.
This represents an opportunity for LVMH to further strengthen its presence in the eyewear industry leveraging its Italian savoir-faire, and for Marcolin to pursue future strategic investments.
